Hi, New here so bear with me. Neighbors house was foreclosed on about a year ago, so it's sitting empty and the yard has run a bit wild. My daughter noticed these growing with abundance over the last couple weeks, and I haven't been able to figure out what they are. I certainly don't want to let her pick/eat the fruit until I find out. Would you all take a look and possibly give us a clue? We live in the Fort Lauderdale area, so it's definitely hot and humid here! Here is a link to some more pictures: http://s22.photobucket.com/albums/b333/McLeaderSuz/Plant/
They look like Poma Rosas - Szygium jambos or similar. What do they smell like? The smell of roses confirms the ID - and they're edible if that is what they are.
http://www.tropicalfruitnursery.com/fruitproducts_m.htm here's a link to a page that has fruit that look somewhat like that.
Had a brave friend that tried the fruit. Said it really didn't taste like anything...not sweet not bitter. I'm pretty convinced that this is indeed a hog plum tree. Is this something they would have planted or is growing wild?
